The thickness of this unit...

One other thing i miss is the customized cube, but i'm sure the customizing will take off soon for this pda.

The smoothness of case and square corners on the diamond make it difficult for me to operate it with one hand while laying in bed. I have to hold it tight to keep it from sliding out of my hand and the bottom corner digs into the palm near the thumb. I suppose it will depend upon primary use as to each individual's experience. For me, I read a lot of e-mail and like to scroll using my thumb and the scroll bar. The Touch (vogue) is so much more comfortable for this. I haven't decided whether to keep the diamond or not. The wi-fi was the factor in purchasing, but I can't say as I haven't been able to do with out it on the vogue, especially after upgrading to rev A. Surfing with wifi on the diamond doesn't seem any faster.

the casing and the shape of the touch does make it easier for me to hold also. i've been having problems scrolling with the side of my thumb on the diamond, but things like that i expect to be adjusted overtime as the vouge also required tweaking. i dont use wifi or surf the web to much, but slingbox is much improved on the diamond, there is no tearing and my speeds are maintained throughout viewing.
